Job Description
 
TITLE: Clinical Manager
REPORTS TO: Chief Program Officer (CPO)
 
Founded in 2009, College Bound Dorchester (CBD) is a nonprofit organization poised to be a national model for using education to end systemic generational urban poverty and violence. Based in the Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood of Dorchester, the organization is spearheading a new initiative to get the dropout, gang-leading, and incarcerated youth into community colleges where they can earn associates degrees, earn a living wage, and positively influence the community around them. CBD calls these youth Core Influencers because their actions and influence impact the safety and potential of their entire communities. Because of their networks and influence, they are the current problem but they are also the solution.
 
Using Boston’s most distressed neighborhoods as a model, in 2017 CBD formally launched the Boston Uncornered initiative, which provides neighborhood-based mentors, college-focused education and a weekly stipend for highly influential Core Influencers as they pursue the college degrees and career opportunities that enable them to turn away from the “streets” for good – breaking cycles of poverty and violence by transforming neighborhoods from the inside out.
 
POSITION OVERVIEW
 
The Clinical Manager will provide a clinical presence and expertise, coordination of services, consultation, coaching and training for staff. The role will build strong relationships with College Bound staff and students to have a deep knowledge of the clinical needs of the program both on an individual staff and student basis and from an organizational standpoint. The Clinical Manager will work closely with staff to build their capacity to support students with trauma-informed practices. The Clinical Manager will strive to understand the organizational culture so that he/she can work in partnership with leadership and program support team to build trauma-informed practices that best support social emotional learning of the organization. A successful Clinical Manager will be a highly motivated individual who believes in the mission of College Bound and who is committed to working with at-risk youth to help them realize their full potential.
